I can't get usb device mounting working in Thunar. I have disks, thunar-volman, and gvfs. (but not the full xfce install). I told thunar to automount usb stuff in preferences->advanced->"enable volume management" and alsopreferences->advanced->"configure volume management"

Are you in the storage group? Does normal mounting work in thunar (click in side pane)? Error dialog shown?

Re: Xfce 4.8pre3 in testing

libxfce4ui is in the xfce4 group, but libxfce4menu, libxfce4util, libxfcegui4, and exo are not. That means I have to do silly tricks to prevent me from getting this just yet (pacman -Syu --ignoregroup xfce4,xfce4-goodies --ignore libxfce4menu,libxfce4util,libxfcegui4,exo), rather than just the ignoregroup command line flags. Although with libxfce4menu, garcon (the replacement) is at least in the group so not much you can do there.

Re: Xfce 4.8pre3 in testing

Anyone else noticing gaps in thier system tray:

The one at the right end disappears when I set any icon to hidden - I wonder if the length calculation always includes the button to click on for hidden icons... The other one is cherrytree (the cherry icon...) seems to be twice as wide as it should. Putting the mouse over the gap gives the popup for cherrytree.

Also, with xfce4-power-manager, I can no longer control my screens brightness. The on-screen widget shows it adjusting the brightness but nothing happens. The version in [extra] works (as far a adjusting brightness goes).

Edit: and this one is my fault... I have two different kernel modules loaded to control screen brightness. Getting rid of the one that does not work fixes this issue. Strange the old version was unaffected by this.

Re: Xfce 4.8pre3 in testing

I got a weird problem with Thunar 1.1.6-5. When you delete a file or folder, they somehow end up in Trash with read-only permission and Thunar will complain that it can't delete the file/folder. Manually delete them using rm works just fine though.

Re: Xfce 4.8pre3 in testing

"dbus-launch thunar" is just a kludge, you'll get a new dbus instance every time you run it. You should start one dbus instance for the whole session.If your ~/.xinitrc is now 'exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session', you should change that to 'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session'. That's the theory at least, my experience with udisks based mounting is not exactly solid.

Re: Xfce 4.8pre3 in testing

An update on problem that Thunar complains about file/folder in trash being read-only when trying to empty trash bin. It seems that the problem only occur when you try to delete a folder with file or other folder in it. Thunar can delete item in trash just fine as long as there are only file in trash folder.
